POURING POT NOZZLE Filed Jan. 29. 1950 ATTORNE Patented June 9, 1931 i Linien STATES 'PATENT Oria WILLIAM P. TARRANTY, OF SARATOGA SPRINGS; NEW' YORK, 'ASSIGNOR TO TAR-RANT y NIANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF SA'BATOGA TION 0F NEW YORK SPRING-s, NEW YORK, `A CORPORA- POURING- POT NOZZLE Application led January 29, 1930.4 Serial No. 424,248. i

This inventionV relates to improvements in nozzles for the distribution of viscous materials such as asphalt, tar or other heavy bituminous material which has to be heated in order to flow freely or for distributing .asphalt emulsions, oil or any other desired substance. It is obvious that it such material is poured in a wide thin sheet, it is dicult to provide a nozzle which will not clog up, `especially as the material loses its heat. The

nozzle may be used on a hose, discharge pipe,

pouring pot or in any other suitable manner. I have shown a pouring pot which is especially designed for this use in Patent No. 1,021,- 015 which was issued to me March 26,1912.

The salient object of this present invention is to provide a nozzle for spreading ordistributing material of the character mentioned, so designed that it will not clog up and can be easily cleaned.

I will described the invention in the following specification and point out the novel :teatures thereof in appended claims. f

Referring to the drawings,

Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a nozzley which is made according to and embodies my invention;

Fig. 2 is a sectional end elevation of the device, the section being taken on the line,

2 2 of Fig. 1 and Fig. 3fis a plan view of the device shown in the preceding'igures, the view being-taken.

in the direction oi the arrow 3 in Fig. 1.

Like characters of reference designate corresponding parts in the various figures of the drawings.

Y In the particular embodiment ofthe in? vention illust-rated the nozzle is shown in combination with a pouring pot having a spout 10 of suitable cdnstruction. The outer endv ot the spout istapered and of circular cross-section. The nozzle comprises a sleeve 11 which ltits over the end of the spout 10 and is secured thereto by a novel spring clip which will be described hereinafter; The end of this sleeve projects beyond the end of the spout and is constructed to formV a discharge orifice 12 which is slightly attened at the top as at 13. f f' Over the top vof this discharge orifice is yin ktheeye 33. wires 3G extend forwardly beyond the eye aiiixed a baiileplate, the top of which 20 forms a flat 'surface' in a plane which is a continuation ot the longitudinal central part or top of the sleeve 11. Then it is bent downwardly on the line 21k and terms a tlat apron 22 which extends downwardly across and considerably below the orifice 12 but spaced therefrom as shown clearly in Fig. 1. It will be noted that the flat portion 13 not only provides a guide-ring ariixed to the spout V10.

' A'wire 31 passes .through this guide-ring slidingly, and its forwardend is bent downwai-diy to form a hook 32'which engages anv eye 33 on thesleeve 11. rIher wire 31 is biturcatedfto form two semi-loops 34, between which "and the guide-ring is a compression spring35 which tendsto hold the hook 32 From theV semi-loops two 33 where they are twisted together as at 37 and `then upwardly'toform a finger-'hold f 38. Itis a simple matter to pull the'hoolr y.

iorwardly` out of the eye 33 and to move it toy the sident the eyetodisconnect the catch, thereby'enabling the removal ofthe sleeve from the spout. yThe tapering ofthe member 11 insures ka good tight tit with the spout` lOjwhen drawn downwardly over the spout bythe spring 25.

`When material vinv a vliuidy condition pouredthrough thespout 10`and sleeve 11 it flows outthrough the orice 12 and against V90 the baille 20, 22.V The latter diverts the flow and flattens they stream into athin flat sheet. Thus the material maybe laid on a pavement, for example, in al desired manner, withf out passing through a narrowk slit or orifice which isapt to get clogged. l

Another advantage of theconstruction shown, is that the parts are made of metal, welded together so that as soon as use is dis continued, lthe sleeve may be detached from l the spout andlthrown on tire or otherwise uit heated, so that none of the poured material Will adhere to it.

Although the nozzle is illustrated in connection with a pouring spout, it will be understood that it is not limited to such use but may be secured to any distributing pipe or hose.

Although one specific embodiment of the invention has been particularly shown and described it will be understood that the invention is capable of modication and that changes in the construction and in the arrangement of the various cooperating parts may be made Without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as expressed in the following claims.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is:

1. A nozzle comprising a tapered tubular sleeve having an orice, a baiiie plate secured to Said sleeve, said sleeve being flattened at a point adjacent. said orifice to provide a depressed bearing surface for said plate, the depression being sufficient to locate said plate iush with the extension of the nozzle therebeyond, said nozzle having an eye adjacent the end of the nozzle oppositeI to the baille plate, effective to receive a retaining means for the nozzle.

2. In combination with a tapered discharge spout, a removable nozzle comprising a sleeve constructed to slip over and fit said spout, said sleeve being constructed to form a discharge oriiice, a baiiie plate secured to said sleeve extending downwardly in front of said orifice but spaced therefrom, and a spring catch arranged to lock the spout and sleeve together in close engagement, said catch comprising a hook slidably mounted on one o1n said parts and an eye affixed to the other of said parts.

3. In combination with a tapered discharge spout, a removable nozzle comprising a sleeve Constructed to slip over and tit said spout, said sleeve being constructed to form a substantially circular discharge orifice, a bathe plate secured to said sleeve extending downwardly in front of said orifice in a plane spaced from said orifice, and a spring catch arranged to lock the spout and sleeve together in closerengagement, said catch comprising a Wire slidably mounted on one of saidfparts, bent to form a hook, semieloops and a finger hold, a spring between said loops and said mounting and an eye on the other ot' said parts.
